v0.39.3		26-Nov-2003

	WARNING: NOT EVERYTHING IS TESTED, WAIT A FEW DAYS AND DON'T USE THIS.

	general:
		Since this version Posix threads are being used, please let
		me know if this doesn't compile on you system.
		All Makefiles do not strip the binaries anymore, the binaries
		are stripped during make install only. This allows to run the
		not yet installed binaries under debuggers.
		The configure script has a --enable-debugging option so that
		all code can be compiled to let it run under debuggers.
		This version had a lot of testing using valgrind. Most errors
		were minor problems.

	libclcomm:
		Fixed a small (not harmfull) buffer overlapped copy detected
		by valgrind.

	libcommon:
		Code cleanup in proglock, pktname and crc.
		Fixed a forgotten fclose in proglock.

	libmsgbase:
		In JAM_Open replaced a strcpy with memmove.

	mbcico:
		Dropped binkp CRC support because it will be incompatible with
		future extensions.
		Fixed a small memory leak.

	mbfido:
		Fixed a some small memory leaks.

	mbfile:
		Fixed a uninitialized memory pointer in the index command.

	mbindex:
		Fixed a forgotten file close.

	mbsetup:
		Removed binkp CRC settings.
		Fixed a unitialized unlink call in nodes close.
		Fixed unclosed tempfile.
		Fixed several small memory leaks.

	mbsebbs:
		Fixed small memory leak.

	mball:
		Fixed 2 forgotten fclose functions.

	mbuser:
		Fixed a forgotten file close when nothing was done.

	mbmon:
		Fixed a minor problem with an uninitialized array.

	mbtask:
		The ping function now runs in a separate thread.
		Changed some ping timer logic.
		Added a "secret" commandline parameter to allow mbtask to run
		under control of debuggers.
		The client command server runs in a separate thread.
		Fixed some small memory leaks which had no effect on long term
		running of mbtask, only leaks during program stop.

	mbpasswd:
		Fixed a small memory leak.

	script:
		Changed all init scripts to allow the slower stopping of mbtask
		For the latest Slackware distros a setup script for pkgtool is
		added.


v0.39.2		21-Nov-2003 - 26-Nov-2003

	general:
		Incoming telnet mailer connections are handled using a telnet
		proxy daemon: mbtelind.

	common.a:
		A small fix in printable log function.
		Added a safety check for the TCP registrate function to prevent
		stale TCP/IP mailer counts.

	mbcico:
		All internal references to tfido port changed to telnet port
		because we now default to telnet port 23 for ITN calls.
		Incoming calls using the -t itn commandline parameters are not
		supported anymore, they need to go via mbtelind.
		Outgoing telnet doesn't work!

	mbtelind:
		New program, a incoming telnet proxy daemon to accept incoming
		calls and transfer these via port 60179 to mbcico that will
		handle the call in raw ifcico mode.

	mbtask:
		Restored ITN protocol.

	SETUP.sh:
		Changed installation for incoming mailer telnet connections to
		install mbtelind.

	examples:
		Updated file menus, added View File command.


v0.39.1		22-Oct-2003 - 21-Nov-2003

	general:
		Make dist now creates bzip2 archives.
		Two html pages are now under control of configure.
		The configure scripts shows the use of zlib compression for
		Hydra.
		Completly dropped support for ITN connections sice this is so
		buggy on different implementations that this is impossible to
		get it right to connect to every system.
		You may need to remove the lines for itn support from 
		/etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs or /etc/xinetd.conf.
		Also check mbsetup 1.14.3 and remove any ITN flag in there.
		Updated all documentation to validate html makeup.
		Added installation support for Gentoo Linux, contributed by
		Capit<69>n X.

	upgrade:
		If you don't have any personal archivers, then remove 
		~/etc/archiver.data and start mbsetup to recreate the
		archivers setup.

	mbsebbs:
		Fixed a bug where the bbs goes into a loop after idle timeout
		during login (and maybe in other situations).
		Fixed chat debug logging to only the debug.log file.
		Posted netmail messages now support CC: lines. The CC: lines
		should be the first lines of the message in the format:
		CC: Michiel Broek 2:280/28
		The Carbon Copied messages are marked with original sender.

	mbfile:
		When the areanumber with the adopt command was not given, the
		help is displayed instead of trying area 0 that doesn't exist.
		With the file move, adopt and import command if the file 
		already exists in the destination area, the action is refused.
		Added mbfile sort <area> command. Files are case insensitive
		sorted on the long filename. After sort the indexes are rebuild.
		Fixed some logging that should have been debug logging.

	mbcico:
		Added hydra rpos id -1 indicator for compression stop that
		Alex and I agreed to use. A FSP document will be written.
		Compression log fixed and added percentage compression.
		Added dynamic optimum sendbuffer size with a maximum of 8192
		bytes with an average size of 2048 bytes.
		Removed ITN support.
		Changed two inbound logmessages to debug level.

	mbfido:
		Changed two logmessages to debug level.

	mbsetup:
		In node editor, fixed error message when there was no more
		room for new nodes to point to the right menus.
		Added support for tar compressed archives.
		Changed all fidonet domain names to maximum 8 characters so
		that we now follow the FTSC specs.

	mbtask:
		Removed support for ITN.

	script:
		Added install scripts for Gentoo.

	lang:	Two new language prompts, 21 and 22.


v0.39.0		09-Oct-2003 - 22-Oct-2003

	general:
		Added menu setup switches for doors: Singe user door and
		hidden from lists.

	mbsebbs:
		The whoson list displays the doorname if set in the menus.
		If a door is single user and the door is in use, the second
		user can't start the door but gets a message about this
		situation.

	mbsetup:
		Added menu settings for single user door and hide door. Added
		setting for the door name in the menus and removed the never
		used password for the menu (Was only present in the setup).

	mbcico:
		Added Hydra zlib compressed data blocks using the idea of Alex
		Shakhaylo. This is experimental and looks compatible with
		mailers that don't support this option. The compression will
		transfer some files about twice as fast as without compression.
		Changed signal handlers to better detect broken TCP links.
		Added logging to show compressed bytes and switched to compress
		level 9 compression instead of 6.
		Prepared hydra for large compressed data blocks. In the next
		developmement version we will actually start using these
		large blocks, this change is to give all beta testers the
		chance to upgrade.

	lang:
		Added language prompt 20.

	examples:
		Updated English and Spanish menus with the new door settings.
		Fixed some spelling errors in the Dutch templates.



v0.38.0		26-Dec-2002 - 03-Oct-2003

	upgrade:
		Note: if upgrading from a 0.37.8 or 0.37.9 development version,
		then no upgrade procedure is needed. All others read the next
		carefully!

		A bit tricky to upgrade and start using the new debug logfile,
                follow the next steps exactly!!
                1.  Download and install the source
                2.  Run "./configure"
                3.  Run "make" (and do not install yet)
                4.  Run "mbstat close"
                5.  Backup /opt/mbse/bin and /opt/mbse/etc.
                6.  Run "mbstat close"
                7.  Kill mbtask, mostly "kill `/sbin/pidoff mbtask`" will do.
                8.  Run (as root) "make install" to install the new software.
                9.  Make sure you are user mbse again.
                10. Start mbtask manual, "mbtask"
                11. Run "mbsetup", enter menu 1, exit, save and close.
                12. Wait one minute.
                13. Run "mbstat open"
                After this is done the first time, restarting mbtask can be
                done as usual by running the mbsed init script. If something
                doesn't work (you get socket errors), it is important that you
                kill mbtask during software versions swap. All software must
                be of the same build.
		Check settings menu 1.5.21 for maximum allowed logins.
		Check setting of menu 1.14.15.
                Remove ~/etc/archiver.data, start mbsetup menu 3, leave and
                save. This updates the archiver view contents commands.
                After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/maptabs and it's contents.
                After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/bank.data.
                After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/safe.data.
                If you want, download and install the nu-door and safe-door
                packages.
                In mbsetup 1.17.3 check if you have the XX,CM,IBN,IFC flags,
                which indicates your TCP/IP capabilities. This is only for
                systems that use TCP/IP, dialup systems should only have
                the XX,CM flags. Important: only protocols that you place
                in this entry are supported, so XX,CM,IBN will let your system
                only call binkp nodes.

	general:
                The nodelist lookup functions are now in a separate library.
                This will give us easy implemtation of new nodelist formats
                and flags.
                Introduced a new file, ~/etc/nodelist.conf, this file will
                be used for nodelist lookup behaviour.
                The current looked-up nodelist strcuture has an extra field,
                the URL how that node must be contacted.
                Debug logging is now in a separate file, the normal logging is
                now only in the normal logfiles.
                Changed all Linux references into GNU/Linux.
                Changed the address of the FSF in all sources.
                Removed memwatch debugger.
                Changed all gif and jpg images to png images.
                Added a setup switch for the nodes for selecting the wrong
                binkp long filenames escape method for Argus and Irex nodes.
                Activated the productcode for mbse that is published in the
                ftscprod.007, MBSE now has an official product code.
                Changed the website address in several sources.
		Added switches for binkp CRC mode in global and node records.
                Added check for inconv.h in configure script for UNIX98 
                character set conversion. (Not yet used).
                Removed external (sysop) chat, chat paging times and other
                chat stuff that is of no use anymore. The sysop shows his
                presence by running mbmon. The mbchat program is obsolete.
                Menu item 22 is added, this is user chat session.
                For chat (and sysop/user paging chat) works now using the
                mbtask daemon.
                In several messages handling functions the international 
                charset translations are removed because of several bugs. They
                will be replaced by standard library functions. Right now the
                messages are 8 bit clean and there is no translation on the
                gateway. The maptabs are removed.
                Menu items 22 and 23 are removed, menu 319 is added. You may 
                want to replace the default txtfiles and menus, upgraded
                versions are in the distribution but are not automatic
                installed.
                Documented menu 318, was present for a long time, just not in
                the html docs.
                The main Makefile now sets each txtfiles directory to mode 775
                to allow doors to write ansi/ascii screens.
                Removed the safe cracker door, this is now external.
                A new developer/translator joined the team, David Gonzalez.
                The settings to suppres some IP protocols (global and nodes)
                are removed, this behaviour must be set using nodelist flags 
                configuration.
                Debug logging for mail and news now have one setting, the M.
                Nodelist debug logging now uses the N character.
                In some makefiles the chown user.group syntax changed to
                user:group to follow the new POSIX syntax. Please let me know
                if you are using an older distribution that complains about
                this. This was needed for FreeBSD 4.7.
                Added Dutch template macro files. Updated English and German
                template macro files. Please remove old ones before installing.

	common.a:
                Added a set of general purpose timers.
                Node locking tests for non-stale lockfiles older then 6 hours.
                Added general code for prgram locking.
                The getheader function changed to support stone-age .pkt's.
                If the packet year has a Y2K bug, the year is fixed. This is
                only cosmetic for logging.
                If the zone info is missing, the zone is guessed from 2d aka
                matching against the system aka's. Then all mail in the .pkt
                file is also assumed to be in that zone if there is no zone
                info in the messages also.
                Guess what, these packets do still exist in Fidonet, it took
                5 years to find them! If you want to check, call 5:5/0
                Fixed compiler warning in network code.
                printable function now escapes all non-printable characters.
                In rfcmsg function the Cc: header is now treated as any other
                header to prevent a SIGSEGV when the headerline is empty.
                Removed charset conversion/translation.
                Added integer endian byteorder swapper, usefull for non-Intel
                hardware.
                The poutCR function for the bbs never did send a newline.
		New function to get the real case of a filename.

        nodelist.a:
                Added experimental support for IP nodes lookup using a default
                domain method. This is not the final implementation yet!
                Update, this works now as described in a FSP-xxxx that is in
                discussion in the FTSC. This will also work for current
                practice.

        msgbase.a:
		Moved messages link from mbmsg program into library.
                Resolved a buffer overflow problem with kludges larger then
                512 bytes.

        mbcico:
                Compiled IEMSI code back in, starts mblogin which is not IEMSI
                ready yet. A user with an IEMSI terminal can from there do a
		manual login.
                If doesn't do Multiple Batch mode anymore against binkp/1.1
                mailers.
                File resync during receive finally works.
                In binkp we don't send a empty dataframe after a file anymore.
                Completly changed the files inbound receive, all files are now
                first stored in a unique per node temporary inbound directory.
                Only after a successfull session all received files are moved
                to the final inbound directory. 
                Another goodie is that this is more safe on busy multiline
                systems.
                A light improvement in session handshake setup timers.
                Added EMSI handshake timers, this gives a more relaxed EMSI
                handshake.
                Set the EMSI receive failure count to 20 instead of 6, we can
                now even accept buggy maindoor sessions and still display a
                banner.
                For FTS-0001 sessions the mail password was used instead of the
                session password. Also improved the password check.
                The product code was not entered in the FTS-0001 packet headers.
                Revised some state tables in the binkp session setup stage.
                Fixed a possible buffer overflow in the binkp driver.
                Implemented CRAM rev.4 change in binkp driver.
                Binkp now sends M_BSY to the remote when the bbs is closed.
                Better logging of BSY and ERR messages.
                The binkp transmitter does now escape the unsafe filename
                characters. Method is selectable in the setup.
                The binkp receiver now does process escaped filenames.
                The binkp protocol now supports MD5 crypted passwords.
                Removed some heavy debug code from ttyio functions to increase
                throughput.
                Standarized raw ifcico protocol logging.
                Some minor changes to the raw ifcico protocol, better error
                checking and a check for buffer overflow.
                YooHoo transmitter fixed for transmitting 16 bits product
                codes.
                With binkp and EMSI sessions double received remote aka's are
                filtered.
                When calling ITN nodes, the default port is now 23.
                Call setup changed and uses now the nodelist lookup URL.
                Changed raw ifcico debug logging.

        mbout:
                When a poll was removed, the outbound was not rescanned.

        mbfile:
                Added program locking to prevent that more than one mbfile can
                run at the same time.
                When a file was deleted for age or download age, the 8.3
                filename was not removed from disk.
                A better check againts empty upload dates when purging files.
                Also added a log when this happens. Please report if you see
                any of these.
                In the import function several bugfixes for reading files.bbs.
                Fixed upper/lowercase filenames bug with import.
                Move old files to another area failed, only the symbolic link
                was moved.
                Prepared for multilanguage html pages creation.

        mbfido:
                The rfc to ftn gate now drops the headerlines starting with
                X-Spam- because they are only filled with advertisents and are
                very large (upto 1200 bytes which is somewhat larger for a
                fidonet kludge).
                Stone age packet support, see common.a.
                Due to a configuration error in some system using some tic
                processor mbfido did crash.
                Now it will log this and continue processing ticfiles with the
                risk of sending files back to the owner of that faulty program.
                Added the same check for Seenby lines.
                In a scanned netmail destined to our own local UUCP gate the
                useless X-FTN-INTL and X-FTN-TOPT kludges are no longer 
                inserted in the message.
		Finding the inbound tic file now uses the new filecase function.
                Removed all code for charset translation.
                In areamgr/filemgr lists the messages are forced splitted when
                the force limit is reached in the middle of a group listing.
                The nodes statistics are expanded with flow counters.
                If echomail is accepted in a unsecure area or the unsecure
                commandline option is set, a violation is logged as warning.
                Removed some debugging tests and log messages.
                If a tic file was received in uppercase, during import in the
                bbs the LFN is converted to lowercase.
                Promoted some normal debug logmessages to heavy debug messages
                in the outbound queue packer.
                Echomail from other zones showed the address of your own zone.
                Added logging when other errors are found.
                At zonegates, the seenby lines were twice stripped.
                Another patch to compensate for sysops that pack pascalnet
                files in fidonet packets and send these messages into the world
                without zone information.
                Made the incoming tic files complete case insensitive, mixed
                case is now processed. If such file is received, the LFN will
                be set to that name.
                The magic unpack command now uses the mail unpack command
                instead of file unpack command so that paths in the archive are
                junked.

        mbsebbs:

                The BlueWave and QWK download packets can have kludges, this
                depends on a setting in the userbase.

                channel as soon as the user does nothing (ie in a menu or still
                in page mode).

                directory. If saved to the rules directory the message will
                have the filename of the area tag. Normal users can only export
                to their private directory. Sysops: now you can start 
                collecting area rules!
                New menu 221, display arearules. This function tries to find

                allowed to delete messages.

                Now uses standard locking in ~/var/run

                node's opening hours or ZMH.
                Fixed a bug where one of the nodelists was node closed with
                each outbound scan and was causing mbtask to stop functioning
                after a few days.
                After forking the daemon, the stdin, stdout and stderr are
                reopend to /dev/null.
